Good Day!

This time we're recreating another logo for an Open Source Project called Voxel.JS. We're using the Material Design Principle.

Why am I recreating their Logo? Just look at these close-ups of their logo:


It seems that the borders were added per cube's side individually.

So, that's why I'm recreating it. I also think that Material Design will really look good on most logos and it will be great if they have an alternative logo based on it. A good use-case for this is when customizing icon sets for docks or launchers.


Here's How It's Made:

Start by creating a base shape for the logo. I will use a circle for this one:

I pasted the Original Voxel.js logo in black here to use as my reference for recreating it:

The first thing I did was use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to capture the shape on one side of their logo (their logo is a 3d cube showing 3 sides):

Then I filled it out with a random color first, on this sample I used black:

Afterwards, I filled out the rest of the cube's faces (top and left sides):


Now, we have our Logo's base:

We then add highlights and drop shadows:

Then the angled shadow for the whole shape:

Lastly, we add the "JS" letters, I decided to made them in 8-bit using a font named "System":

Here's the original Logo Set from their website:

Here's the whole set changed to Logos based on material design:

I used their original colors and applied them to the Materialized Logo, here's a gif:
